This yet unnamed low profile armor carrier system from Tactical Tailor was designed to accommodate the Velocity Systems steel plates.
A customer driven design, it will accept the Mayflower chest rig and comes with these new style ammunition pouches. The styling is completely new for TT and I like it. These Velcro backed pouches are also compatible with the Short Barreled Rifle Bag.
The carrier is available now and the pouches will be available in about 4-6 weeks.
Avon Protection has expanded their role in the market by introducing the Morpheus semi-closed rebreather from recently acquired VR Technology.

We’ve mentioned the TALON gyro-stabilized marksman platform from Paradigm SRP in the past.
Now, they’ve added a control board as well as a 2000m laser range finder. The control board offers picture in picture and you can really see how we’ll it stabilizes the weapon. Amazing considering the weapon is actually only held to the TALON via a Bobro QD mount along the underside of the hand guard.

When I got this last night I was pretty stoked. I’ve known Mike a long time and its great to see that he’s back out here, in the mix with us.
NORFOLK, VA (May 14, 2013) – Mike Noell, founder and former CEO of BLACKHAWK! Products Group and an industry leader in the design and manufacture of tactical, military, law enforcement and outdoor equipment, has launched M3 “Investing in America,” a private equity company with a mission to support new and growing companies with capital and management resources.
M3 “Investing in America,” a company founded on the same ideals that made BLACKHAWK! a household name, was created by Mr. Noell to help companies grow successfully.
A former U.S. Navy SEAL, Mr. Noell experienced his business epiphany when his military-issued, 100-lb. pack broke, ejecting gear. Quickly realizing the area was littered with mines and that luck was on his side, Mr. Noell promised himself that if he returned to the U.S., he would make gear that would not compromise soldiers or their missions.
Mr. Noell’s leadership and management skills were what took his small cut-and-sew start-up out of his garage in 1993 to a 65,000 sq. ft., 3.5 story corporate headquarters with manufacturing in 3 states and a global presence by 2008. During his tenure as president and CEO of BLACKHAWK!, Mr. Noell and his highly skilled and experienced team, were responsible for the acquisition of nine companies and brands and the development of some of the most innovative products in the industry today. Many of the products developed have become benchmarks within their categories, including the SERPA® holster, which is today a market share leader in law enforcement and civilian holsters; the Gladius® illumination tool which revolutionized the flashlight market with digital components and strobing capabilities, and the Integrated Tourniquet System (I.T.S.) which provides security, military and law enforcement with a quick-access, built-in tourniquet system to stem blood loss in limbs during combat situations.
After a seventeen year run, Mr. Noell had successfully positioned BLACKHAWK! for acquisition to ATK and in 2010 and Mr. Noell retired to spend time with his family. His decision to establish M3 “investing in America” provides a new pivotal role to pursue his passion and love of developing and growing companies by providing them with the productive and effective leadership skills, tools and resources to become brand leaders.
“I have always felt a deep respect and commitment to the men and women who serve our country and our communities. It is an honor to develop and produce products that can withstand any mission from the tortures of battle to the rigors of outdoor adventures,” Mike Noell, CEO of M3 “Investing in America” commented. “We are currently pursuing any potential relationships with like-minded companies.”
